Grade 2 Subtraction Worksheets
The grade 2 subtraction sequence is about two-digit subtraction within 100 with regrouping, and mental subtraction of 10 and 100, and these six sheets cover it format by format, three versions each.
Grade 2 Subtraction Practice
Straight practice, 20-40 problems.
Grade 2 Subtraction Timed Drill
Fact fluency, 50-100 problems, timer box on sheet.
Grade 2 Subtraction Missing Number
Solve for the blank in any position.
2.MD.6 — Subtraction on a Number Line
Assorted problem shapes from the operation.
Grade 2 Subtraction Word Problems
Story problems in real-world contexts.
Grade 2 Subtraction Vertical Format
Column arithmetic with regrouping lines.
The drill has 20 problems, two of them regrouping (problem 7: "19 − 4"). The timed drill has 60 problems, ten of them regrouping (problem 21: "3 - 1"). The missing number has 24 problems, numbers to 95 (problem 9: "77 - ___ = 48"). The mixed review has 20 problems, fifteen of them regrouping (problem 7: "40 - 15"). The word problems has 8 problems, story problems (problem 3: "A store had 37 oranges in stock and sold 27 of them. How…"). The vertical format has 20 problems, twelve of them regrouping (problem 7: "52 - 28").
Across the six sheets the generator draws on subtraction facts within 20, subtracting 10 or 100 mentally, two-digit subtraction within 100, two-digit subtraction with regrouping, and three-digit subtraction within 1,000. The pages are tagged to Common Core 2.NBT.5, 2.OA.2, and 2.MD.6, and each tag links to the standards index.
If this level is not landing, step to grade 1 subtraction, where the focus is facts within 20, unknown-addend equations, and subtracting multiples of ten; if it is too easy, grade 3 moves on to three-digit subtraction with regrouping, including across zeros.
A useful order through these six grade 2 subtraction sheets: drill first, then mixed review to check the method survives a change of shape, then the missing-number sheet, and the timed drill last as a fluency check.
